Hear from our valued guests
The food and service were excellent. The only reason I gave 4 stars was because the background music was so loud that my elderly mother couldn't hear any of the conversation. Everything else was top notch.
My spouse and I came here to have lunch on a Friday and it was lovely! Jazmyn was so nice, the fall menu is to die for, and it was a gorgeous day to sit on the back patio! Definitely check it out if you’re looking for a brunch spot.
Terrific High flavor breakfast dishes. An extensive menu given the quality of the offering. Tremendous service phenomenal coffee hard to find fault. Even felt it was a bit of a value in this esclative cost environment given it was not your typical local average interpretation of breakfast. Give it a try.
I had a great take-out experience at First Watch in Pewaukee! I ordered a fresh salad, and it was delicious — crisp, flavorful, and perfectly prepared for take-out. The pickup area was spotless and well-organized, making the process quick and easy. I also appreciated how neatly everything was packed, with clear labeling on the bag so nothing was missing or mixed up. It’s clear that the team here takes real pride in providing a smooth and high-quality take-out experience!
The BEST Cobb Salad I've ever had. I do a few modifications with little issue. Ordered it twice, both times absolutely incredible! Avocados are green and ripe, no brown. Lettuce is great, bacon is crisp and hard boiled eggs are fresh. I was so impressed I decided to write a review. It is very hard to find a really good salad and I'm telling you this is the place! Even on Doordash!
This our second time at First Watch and both times have been wonderful. The food came out fast and was delicious. The atmosphere is clean and the vibes are great. Must try their signature coffee, it’s the best I’ve had in months. Highly recommend.
Food was absolutely amazing. The price was very reasonable. waiters and waitresses are very friendly. highly recommend you check it out. Try out the avocado toast or the burrito
Adrianna is amazing! Excellent service and always has a smile on her face. Food is incredible and comes out quick. I will always come back.
Fresh!!! Excellent service! Every time we try something new on the menu and we are never disappointed! Creative dishes and you can tell the food isn't processed. Million dollar bacon is out of this world! Baconcado omlette is amazing! Good breakfast tacos too! Ranch is homemade and salad is light and refreshing! Wait staff is very pleasant and knowledgeable about menu options! :)
Such an amazing experience this morning! Rachel was phenomenal and made the experience that much better with her kind attitude & connecting conversation. she was knowledgeable about the menu and food items and next time i come back i will definitely be asking for her! First watch is lucky to have her as part of their staff! Thank you rachel!!
